On one of them, it's name is Wangerooge, there is a small island railroad (narrow-gauge railway, 1m). "Inselbahn" Image Gallery I don't know the size of Wangerooge exactly, but if I'm not completely wrong it's a lot smaller than all the islands from Operation Flashpoint. PSC<span id='postcolor'> narrow gauge railways would fit, but not too much of it, maybe, if for example someone put a track on nogova it would only go from lipany to the airport (or near) and another route to the port

Why on earth would you need trains in ofp? the islands arent nearly big enough to warrant them, i mean, most of the islands are only 7-10km across/high, that would only take a couple of hours to walk! with a bicycle you could do it in much less, if the islands were large industrial mecca's with workers needing to go to and fro id understand, but even the biggest "city" (Lipany) is the size of a tiny english village

Â <span id='postcolor'> Erm, this will probably get me into a tiny bit of trouble but, there are a hell of a lot, there is one that lets you ride in the helo and then when the helo stops/hovers allows you to get out and walk around, there is a dust script, theres a script that when you are in the dust without goggles on that you get dust in your eyes so it looks like you have to close your eyes every now and then (very cool), engine fumes, cargo hook script, we will probably have a lot more as well, as we are still working on them

They're great!!!! <span id='postcolor'> Yeah, would be good if we could have some kind of translation in english underneath the german though, same for the links, im sure that would attract many more people to the site, as the two main english speaking sites (opflashpoint.org and ofp.info) dont really update much...

Since the jeepmg is modelled totally in 02, which configVeh does it use? Many would like to know as it seems a civilian truck mounted with a mg is the next much awaited addon other than the aircraft carrier. Vixer: hmmm.....2 different classes within one O2 model? or 2 separate config models combined in editor? Thanks anyway, i'll try to figure it out....nothing like some more experiments to test and expand the limits of ofp...hehe....<span id='postcolor'> Well, its not classes that define how a vehicle acts/what it can/cant do, its the simulations, now these are hard coded so we cant change them, but they contain the information for ofp to use the model in a certain way... so, the car 'class' uses: simulation=car; The Jeep MG uses the exact same simulation, so you should be able to mount a turret on a car simulation with no trouble, (Its already been done a lot of times with usermade addons, there were the armed hummers, the BTR-70, the Centauro) because the armoured vehicles here had wheels the makers were forced to use the car simulation as the tank simulation acts a lot differently than a wheeled vehicle should.

Yes the COC team made some, you can probably find it at their site (cant remember the url....denoir?), or it comes bundled with nam pack 2

I didnt mean the gunpod, which is stored on the wings, i meant the GSh-23 nose gun...Bis may have got the two mixed up and created a bit of both...

i think in real life they use the sabot to pierce the tanks armour, and if the occupants are still alive they then fire a heat shell to incinerate them, or they might use it like the LAW is sometimes used, for defenses like caves/bunkers etc

It's getting on my and probably other peoples' nerves... http://www.hqmc.usmc.mil/factfil....ocument<span id='postcolor'> Actually the TOW is able to shoot down slow moving aircraft(helicopters mostly), its able to hit anything as long as the missile is guided exactly to where the target is, its a wire guided missile so technically there are no limits as to what it can attack...

its very likely that as they jump the chutes are hitting the roadway lod, or geometry, inside the MH-47E, this will hopefully be fixed, however in our new version there may be a better way of doing it, we have incorporated a script which allows you to 'attach harness' which allows you to ride in the back, but not in cargo, and there is an option when the MH-47E is hovering to detach harness, and walk around inside the MH-47E (you'll stay in as long as the MH-47E hovers, and doesnt move), what i suppose you could do when the new version is out is start the human players(doesnt work with ai) in the back of the MH-47E with the harnesses attached, once the mission starts they could detach the harness and then run out the back, and maybe a trigger could activate the parachute script....but i suppose you'll have to wait for the new version to try that out...which will be out soon

http://www.guardian.co.uk/falklands/story/0,11707,659681,00.html seems to say otherwise, and a pretty reputable newspaper, not like the other uk papers a la The Sun or The Mirror.

With a bit of perservering I have managed to use setObjectTexture to create the illusion of missiles being fired from turrets. and: edit: BTW no proxies used, and the turret (upper missile carrier rotates and tracks aircraft.) I have also managed to have drop tanks on aircraft that detach, as well as the planes normal loadout of bombs. The Next A4 release has working drop tanks. The rapier is now under construction for the Falklands mod and should  have some screenshots of it working in a few days.. or so.<span id='postcolor'> Fantastic! I suppose this method could also be used to have a varied loadout on planes instead of just one detachable proxy type and rockets
